Where?
Look for discussions about uploading brains into computers and other such attempts at immortality if you wish to find examples. Never mind the fact that a copy of a person put into a computer is a copy and not the person, so that it could not possibly give one immortality even if one could make such a copy; reality is not relevant to the thinking of those who desperately wish to live forever.
